Lisa Kearns currently the Councillor for ward 2
Unconfirmed report that Lisa Kearns has withdrawn as a candidate for nomination as the Liberal candidate for the Burlington Provincial Liberal Association.
Appears to have gotten a little skittish.
We will follow up on this later in the day.
Having watched many council meeting over the past eighteen months, I believe Lisa Kearns to be one of the strongest members on council. She is obviously a very clever young woman, who cares deeply for the Burlington community. I admire her for putting her name forward for the liberal nomination and then when realizing that perhaps a stronger candidate has come forward stepping back and offering her support.
If true, good! I felt she was biting the hand that feeds her. Did not support a Liberal Provincial run AT ALL. Maybe after at least two terms in Ward 2.
If this is indeed the case, does it mean that Burlington residents in ward 2 will have a councillor who obviously wants out of the job?
Personally, as a ward 2 resident I feel it might be time for her to resign and let someone who really wants the job step in.
